That is why I am donning my fire-proof suit to make this little post. It is one that I doubt anyone will flame me for, but I thought I'd be safe. You see, there is a seven year old dying, and his one last wish was not that he get everything that everyone wants, but instead is a fairly reachable goal. I think that if you were to comletely read what I am going to show you; you too will agree. The following is a text file that I found very touching, and thought that others could help out: LAST WISH A brain tumor is cutting short the life of seven-year-old Craig Shergold. His Last Wish doesn't seem very much to ask; simply that he receive some Get Well cards---hopefully enough to break The Guiness Book of World Records. If everyone reading this message could send him a card (or several!) and post this note on any bulletin boards or in any publications he/she may be in contact with, or even word of mouth, surely Craig's Last Wish will come true. Send your card(s) to: Craig Shergold c/o Children's Wish Foundation Suite 100 3200 Perimeter Center E. Atlanta, Ga. 39346 P.S. If you are a person who believes in prayer, a prayer for this young man may, perhaps, find its way into another Book---and who knows? He may just get a Get Well "wish" from someone else. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please, if you can, send him at least ONE card. I know about the vastness of the net, and I think that we can all fulfill this young man's wish. To do this, would be a kindness that eveyone can show! Thank you for taking your time and reading this. Maybe some of us can relate to this. Maybe others can do more to help... who knows... You can send any replies to: David D. Dean, President David D.
